Flash is a sweet, sensitive and gentle girl. She has not had the best start to life and as a result has likely missed out on some key socialisation, and has spent a lot of her time tethered on a large property with multiple other dogs. She may prefer to be outside at first but would benefit from a home that can provide indoor/outdoor access. She loves people and enjoys being with you. New owners will need to work on 4 paws and basic manners; she likes to try and jump in your lap and really looks to her human for reassurance. Flash can be nervous and unsure in new environments; she is still learning to walk well on lead and may put the brakes on when feeling overwhelmed She may find some objects scary, could be very mundane items such as the microwave beeping, fans, or the vacuum cleaner. New owners will need to take things slow and not overwhelm her with too many new experiences. She would do better in a home that can provide structure and routine. Flash loves her food in enrichment as it provides mental stimulation. Open to the right family, can be worried but is very sweet. New owners will need to understand basic dog body language. Must meet other dogs at time of adoption. Will need a calm and patient doggy friend.
